There is no logical, mathematical or statistical reason why this would be a good strategy.

If it is possible to win consistently, there is no reason why you should "quit while you're ahead". Even if there were a benefit to quitting while you're a small bit ahead, it would be possible to simply repeat the very same process over and over again every day, like someone else already pointed out.

If you play better than your opponents, it is possible to make a net profit at poker. Since poker is a game of chance as well as a game of skill, the more you play, the more evenly your winnings will reflect your skill level. (volume cancels out the random factor in favour of real chance)
Strategies like the one described in this thread, however, will help absolutely nothing.
